Abstract:

This data publication contains three digital rasters with a spatial resolution of one meter: 1) a digital surface model (DSM), which represents the highest lidar return in each grid cell; 2) a digital terrain model (DTM), a representation of the ground surface with vegetation and other non-ground returns removed; and 3) a canopy height model (CHM), a representation of the height of vegetation above the ground surface. Digital rasters were derived from lidar data that were acquired over Priest River Experimental Forest, Idaho, USA in 2019.
